MACS Units

Wall-mount system for rodents -
An ALTDESIGN exclusive

While many holding rooms lack adequate floor space to add more fixed frame mobile racks, most have available wall space. That is where the MACS wall-mount frame provides a major advantage in increasing room cage density.

In addition, by moving the equipment and animal weight from the floors to vertical walls, you decrease the load stress on the floors. This is especially important for older buildings with vivariums located on upper levels.

Finally, the wall-mount design is narrower than floor vent racks. This opens more aisle space within the rooms for more efficient traffic and workflow.
